    I am running a Moo server in spanish language with lambda 1.8.0p5
    I want to change the preposition strings to fit spanish in a better way.
    Is there any way without changing the server sources?
    Does the server support aliases for prepositions? It would be better if
    usual english strings are also supported.
    May I suggest to include a prop in $server_options with a list of the
    valid prep specifiers and aliases in the form:
    {"with/using/con/usando","at/to/a/hacia",...}
    allowing wizards to customize them in future versions of lambda?

    It is quite weird to type:
     pon pajaro amarillo inside reloj de cuco
    en lugar de:
     pon pajaro amarillo dentro de reloj de cuco
    Which is an "almost" correct statement in Spanish
    Thanks

    I've hacked a MOO server to be french & english.  The easiest way to do
    this is to hack the first few lines of 'db_verbs.c':

    static const char  *prep_list[] = {
        "with/using/avec",
        "at/to/a",
        "in front of/devant",
        "in/inside/into/dans",
        "on top of/on/onto/upon/sur",
    .
    .
    .

    However, I agree with you about the in-db option.
    Perhaps $server_options.prep_with = "with/using/avec"
    would be the easiest way of doing this.
